Richard & Ronnie Huettman of Acre Station Meat Farm, 2012 Commercial Meat Processor of the Year

The Second Annual NC Choices Carolina Meat Conference was held in early December 2012 in the beautiful and historic Winmock Dairy in Bermuda Run, NC. The conference was attended by over 380 producers, meat processors, food buyers and support businesses engaged in advancing the local and niche meat industry in North Carolina and beyond.

Major highlights included a keynote address and technical presentation with Dr. Temple Grandin, hands-on butchery training classes for home chefs and food professionals, meat-cutting demonstrations with Kari Underly, Adam Tiberio, Tyler Cook, Tanya Cauthen, and Justin Meddis, and a very special nose-to-tail dinner with the Blind Pig Supper Club of Asheville.

Mark your calendars for the 2013 Carolina Meat Conference: December 9-10, 2013. Location to be announced.
